Jeff Bezos says he dances into the office if he gets to work on the Echo, and has one in every room of his house — including bathrooms

Amazon's Echo speaker, and its digital assistant Alexa, have been a runaway hit with the public — but even more so with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

In a new interview with Billboard, Bezos said that he will "dance into work if I have Echo and Alexa meetings on my schedule that day," and revealed that at his house, every single room has its own Echo.

"I have slowly but relentlessly added an Echo or an Echo Dot into every room of my house, including the bathrooms. I started in my kitchen, and I just kept adding to another room, and was frustrated when I happened to be in the bathroom and couldn't ask Alexa what the weather is or something. I think I'm a pioneer in that regard."

That's going to be a lot of Echos when Bezos moves into his new digs, a pair of mansions in the Kalorama section of Washington D.C., which Bezos reportedly plans to turn into a single-family home. The property totals 27,000 square feet, and closed for $23 million.

Bezos also shared that one of the reasons Echo and Alexa have been such a success is that Amazon was working on them in secret, with a "couple thousand people," for almost four years.
